Chapter 290: Changing generals on the spot
On the endless plain of Hongyaye, groups of monster beasts galloped past, bringing up smoke and dust all over the sky.
Demon King Kuihu has twelve cave demon generals under his command, and each cave has between one hundred and three hundred little demons with cultivation levels close to him. And the demon king has more than two thousand direct demons under his command, which adds up to five Thousands of elites!
This is also one of the things Demon King Kuihu relies on to control the southern part of the forbidden area.
Five thousand monsters, this is not a small number. After all, the recipes for carnivorous monsters are there. It is too heavy to feed them, and they are incomparable with herbivorous monsters.
But fortunately, these monsters are all carefully selected elites. When dealing with the army of Yuanlu Demon King, they can defeat ten of them. Therefore, they have won many battles with great momentum.
The three Lin Shan brothers, together with the Snake Demon King disguised as an old servant, were also trapped in the army.
The three of them each led two hundred little demon subordinates, all of whom were drawn from the direct lineage of Demon King Kuihu. Each of them was rebellious and full of wolf nature, which made them a headache to manage and command.
Fortunately, Demon King Kuihu gave them the cave master's token. With the token, they could barely command the group of subordinates without being disobedient.
Not long after, a large camp appeared in front, with tens of thousands of monsters waiting in front of the camp.
The chilling atmosphere began to spread, and a war between the two sides was about to break out.
"Stop!"
Demon King Kuihu's Qingpan Yuhu was the first to stop, and the demon generals and guards around him also stopped.
The group of demons behind them were also restrained by their respective cave masters and leaders, and gradually stopped running and stood in line, with their green tiger-head flags fluttering in the wind.
The opposite flag is an apricot antlered flag.
Under the banner is the Demon King Yuanlu, who is riding a white deer. On his head is the iconic twelve-branched antlers, which are bigger than the head. They are shining with yellow light in the sun, and a striped road flows between them. The color is dazzling and very mysterious.
Yuanlu Demon King looks thin and frail, with a white coat wrapped behind his back, looking here from a distance.
Behind it, there are also demon generals of various types of cattle, sheep, red deer, and tens of thousands of herbivorous monsters arrayed together. The demon spirits of military formations are condensed in the sky. It is so majestic that you can tell at a glance that it is not easy to mess with.
The red cloak behind Demon King Kuihu made a sound as he sat upright on the chariot, pressing the shaft of the chariot with his palms. His two tiger eyes looked at his old rival quietly, with excitement hidden in his eyes. He had been waiting for this day for a long time.
Finally, I can finally give up my stability and have a good fight!
Look around.
"Dear cave masters, who will be the first to take the lead and kill the majesty on the opposite side for me?"
"Roar!"
A Jindan stage demon general roared loudly and rushed forward with the demonic wind.
It turned out to be General Xiong, the personal bodyguard of Demon King Kuihu.
This bear monster has strong muscles, a ferocious face, wings on its ribs, a mountain-climbing sword in its hand, and is dressed in brown heavy armor. Its savage charge is unstoppable!
Earlier, he and Mr. Yan were known as the right-hand man of Demon King Kuihu.
Not to be outdone, the opposing camp saw Yuanlu Demon King wave his sleeves with a calm expression, and a green bull demon general came out from behind him. His momentum was not inferior to that of General Xiong. The two fought together.
"Dong dong dong dong~~~"
The drums of the two sides beat, and the rhythm became faster and faster, boosting the morale and prestige of one's own side.
"Roar!"
"Moo~"
Two demon generals were in the center of the battlefield. The black demonic aura and the cyan demonic aura were entangled with each other. Their strong bodies were flashing and moving. The white sword light and the red gun shadow were flashing. They were fighting inextricably. They were evenly matched.
The three Linshan brothers watched attentively in the team and found that the two demon generals were both at the peak of the Golden Core stage, no less powerful than the Puchang master they had killed. They all felt solemn and looked at them from all sides.
The little demons on both sides also followed the ghosts and howled like wolves, cheering for their own demon general's strength.
Demon King Kuihu was obviously used to strange things. It was very likely that the two demons were already old enemies. They had been tied so many times and it had lost its patience. At this time, it looked around again.
"Who else can take my worries away from me?"
"Ouch~"
A silver-moon wolf demon looked up to the sky and roared, rushing out of the formation to start a fight.
There was also a purple-striped sheep demon in the camp opposite. It was obviously an old rival, and they soon started fighting each other.
Demon King Kuihu didn't need to give any more orders. Most of the cave masters below rushed out and started fighting with Demon King Yuanlu's opponents.
The three of them in Linshan also wanted to test the strength of these demon generals, and followed them to kill them.
The Yuanlu Demon King's camp on the opposite side was also full of demon talents. Although he was confused as to why there were three more humans, he still did not hesitate to send three Jindan demon generals to resist.
Lin Shan's opponent was a black and white guinea pig. It looked extremely fat, but was actually very agile and versatile. The key was that he was not using his bare hands. There was a long green stick dancing in his palm, which seemed to be some kind of weapon cut from spiritual bamboo.
Generally speaking, demon clans that can serve as demon generals are different from ferocious beasts in the wild. They are much stronger in intelligence and have rich combat experience. After all, they have been fighting each other for hundreds of years, which is quite troublesome.
Lin Shan made a rough comparison and found that the demon generals on the Yuanlu Demon King's side were either strong or weak. The most powerful ones were comparable to those in the late Golden Core stage among humans, and the weak ones were not much different. The guinea pig in front of him should be considered average.
He did not reveal his strength too much. After all, these are definitely not the full combat power of the demon kings on both sides. They can only be regarded as the vassal cave masters leading the battle. The direct demon generals under his command have not yet taken action. The battle between the demon clans is so deep. Very, there is no need to work desperately for Demon King Kuihu.
Therefore, he only took out two magic weapons, the Water-Breaking Sword and the Iron Chain Dart, one to attack and the other to protect the whole body.
Zhong Shenxiu and Young Master Jiuyou thought the same way, and just paddled there.
It's just that Zhong Shenxiu and Lin Shan can paddle just fine, but Young Master Jiuyou can't paddle a bit.
The reason was that his opponent was a three-foot-tall rock-skin giant elephant, which was both large and powerful. However, it was difficult for him to expose his magic power, so his existing methods were a little stretched, and he could only be pressed down and supported.
Zhong Shenxiu asked which pot he did not open and which pot he did not open. While facing off against the pig demon on the opposite side, he asked with doubts when he had time:
"Brother, don't you remember that you have magical powers? Why haven't you used them yet?"
The rock-skinned elephant demon could understand human speech. When he heard that his opponent also had "ghost powers", he was so frightened that he quickly broke off his two ivory tusks and greeted Young Master Jiuyou fiercely, for fear that the human would amplify his move. .
"I'm not"
The pressure on Young Master Jiuyou increased greatly, and he was so sad that he almost vomited blood.
His Xuanyin Fire was almost extinguished by the sewage sprayed from the trunk of the elephant over and over again. The magic weapon of the folding fan in his hand could not stop the power of the elephant at all. However, there was a leak in the house and it rained all night. Zhong Shenxiu exposed his trump card and let the opponent The demon general was extremely defensive.
Next to him, Lin Shan was fishing with the guinea pig demon while seriously reminding him:
"Brother, aren't you a disciple of the Jingudong lineage of the Quanzhen Taoist Longmen sect? Do you have any unique skills that you can use quickly?"
The rock-skinned elephant demon was very intelligent. Hearing this, he quickly opened his two huge screen-like ear fans to prepare for the upcoming attack.
This made the young master Jiuyou who planned to use the fire control technique to make a sneak attack very depressed. Before he could counterattack, he was still born, and he had no choice but to continue to be at a disadvantage.
Lin Shan was still admonishing from the side: "Since eldest brother knows ghost magic, there must be many other ghost secrets, right?"
Zhong Shenxiu also meant something: "Big brother seems to have made great achievements in star power, why not show it to me?"
When they said this, Young Master Jiuyou was not forced to reveal his trump card. Instead, he frightened the rock-skinned elephant demon so much that he violently dealt with Young Master Jiuyou. The demon generals in the battle circle next to him were all confused and even I thought there was so much hatred between these two.
Young Master Jiuyou secretly hates that these two people are adding insult to injury. Even now, they still don’t forget to test their own feet. They are indeed sworn brothers!
While they were arguing, the real commanders of the two parties, Demon King Kuihu and Demon King Yuanlu, had already ended their lives in person.
The two demon kings were both powerful at the Nascent Soul stage, and they went directly to the sky to start a real confrontation.
The three people in Lin Shan quickly raised their heads to observe, but found that the sky was filled with thick demonic energy. They could only occasionally see two figures disappearing and disappearing in the demonic clouds. There were bursts of fighting explosions, and the clouds in the sky changed. There are many things happening, but they cannot see the details, which makes them regretful.
Mr. Yan below also waved the command flag at this time and directed the army to launch a fierce attack. Demon King Kuihu is away, so he is the temporary commander and takes charge of the power.
Demon King Yuanlu obviously had a back-up plan, and the army started to confront this side.
Feeling the beasts galloping behind them, the earth trembling, and the rumbling iron hooves destroying the eardrums, the demons fighting on both sides quickly flew into the sky.
When an army of monsters fights, they all have the power of a battle formation, with great power and majestic momentum. All the monster energy is gathered together to form a military spirit army. A young general has the ability to cross ranks to fight against the enemy.
If the Golden Core stage monsters did not lead an army to charge, they would not dare to run around among thousands of troops alone, otherwise they would very likely be torn into pieces.
Generally speaking, soldiers will fight against soldiers against generals, which is also the normal combat method.
But about a quarter of an hour passed.
The winner was determined first on the ground.
Mr. Nong used his troops well. He commanded five thousand elite jackals, tigers and leopards, forming a forward formation in the center, flanking on the left and right, and then surrounded by three and one missing. He defeated tens of thousands of cattle, sheep, red deer, and neighed continuously.
The army of Demon King Yuanlu was divided into countless small groups, fighting independently without support, and gradually became like a wave of waves disappearing and being swallowed up on the battlefield.
Seeing that the ground army is exhausted.
A roar of deer sounded from the sky, and Demon King Yuanlu signaled his subordinates to withdraw their troops, maintain their formation, and retreat slowly.
However, the situation was out of control at this time, and all the troops under its command were frightened. They only knew how to run around and were unable to organize effectively in a regular manner.
As soon as they heard the sound of ringing gold, the entire army immediately turned around and fled in an uproar.
The whole plain was covered by the sound of carnage.
The demon generals who were catching and fighting against each other immediately left the battle circle and retreated when they saw something was not going well. They seemed to be well prepared with their skilled movements.
The demon generals on Demon King Kuihu's side were in hot pursuit, and Lin Shan and the three of them could not stay alone. Naturally, there were generals leading the troops on the battlefield below, and their demon soldiers were also under the overall command of Mr. Yan, so they could not stay. It's of no use, so it's better to follow and kill the enemy Jindan period demon generals.
Herbivorous monsters are good at escaping, running wildly one after another. After chasing for a long time, they could not catch up except eating dirt.
There may be differences in combat power among people of the same level, but it is even more difficult to kill them. If you can't beat them, you can run away, and you won't just stand there and fight to the death, not to mention they can cover each other's retreat.
Even if there are a few fast ones, they don't dare to leave their teammates behind and catch up alone. They just go up and send them off. The demon generals of Yuanlu Demon King are not easy to mess with.
After a cup of tea.
A group of cave masters were unhappy and turned back to the previous battlefield.
It was found that Demon King Kuihu had calmly sat back on the Qingpan Jade Banquet, and the number of his troops had been reduced by half.
And Mr. Yan also disappeared.
"Your Majesty!"
Lin Shan and the other three came back to life, and all the cave masters around them also yelled a few times to say hello.
"Well, thank you for your hard work. The Yuanlu Demon King has already evacuated to the north. You can't slack off now. You have to continue the pursuit with me. Let's go!"
Zhong Shenxiu had sharp eyes and was outspoken. When he noticed that Mr. Nong was missing, he asked casually.
"Your Majesty, where is Mr. Yan?"
Demon King Kuihu smiled and ordered the little demon next to him to start driving, and the cart began to move gradually.
"Mr. Yao volunteered to lead half of the troops and take a long way to make a surprise attack on Hongya Cave. Let's continue to chase the Yuanlu Demon King and provide them with cover."
Young Master Jiuyou frowned slightly and said in confusion.
"In the previously made plan, it seems that the three of us brothers are going to sneak attack on Hongya Cave. Why would Mr. Yan fight for such a dangerous and thankless job?"
Demon King Kuihu didn't care and just waved his hand.
"Mr. Wei, you don't have to think too much. I actually have this intention. After all, Mr. Wei has been leading troops for many years, and he has good control over various military formations. His subordinates also listen to his words, so he lets him lead the troops alone." , it would be best to go for a sneak attack.”
"Although the three gentlemen are extremely resourceful, they have just come to this king and have not yet established their prestige and are unable to convince the public. Therefore, they are afraid that their subordinates will not obey orders when the time comes, so it is best to stay with me."
< br>
"Yuanlu Demon King's lair must be heavily defended and full of dangers. How can I be willing to let three military advisors take risks? With me here, I can still protect your safety."
……
There is nothing wrong with what I said.
Mr. Yan is indeed quite prestigious here. When it comes to leading troops in practical operations, he is definitely better than the three guys who talk on paper. However, Lin Shan and others' plan to enter Hongya Cave came to nothing.
Lin Shan pretended to be worried.
"Your Majesty, Hongya Cave is the home of the Yuanlu Demon King, and there is definitely no shortage of masters among the demon clan. Mr. Yan is afraid that it will be difficult to survive alone, so why not let the three of us brothers go and help!"
This is also true, and it is also one of the reasons why Lin Shan and the other three are hesitant to go directly.
There must be a large formation and demon soldiers waiting for Yuanlu Demon King's lair. Without the help of a large army, it would be difficult for them to break through.
But Demon King Kuihu was very confident and told them not to worry.
"This mission is just to make a show of force to attack the east and west. Mr. Yan does not need to attack Hongya Cave by force. It is enough to make a big noise and then prepare an ambush on the road."
"Before leaving, I also sent the Flying Bear Army and several of my beloved generals to it, so that it would be safe."
"In the process of following the Yuanlu Demon King, I will need the wisdom of three people, so I really can't do without you!"
……
The Flying Bear Army is one of the two ace troops of Demon King Kuihu. Among them are bear demons with double wings. They can fly into the sky and escape on the ground. They are more suitable for long-distance raids. Their leader is General Xiong.
When Demon King Kuihu said this, Lin Shan and the others could only hold their noses and admit it.
We are all smart people, so we naturally understand the meaning.
Mr. Ao is an old demon who has followed Demon King Kuihu for many years. Compared with the three new humans, Mr. Ao is definitely more trustworthy. If he is leading an army alone, Mr. Ao is definitely more reliable.
What if the three men of Lin Shan were really asked to lead troops to attack Hongya Cave, but the three of them made some mistake on the way, or failed to turn around in time to set up an ambush?
Demon King Kuihu also had concerns, and Mr. Yao also saw this, so he took the initiative to ask Miao to take over the job.
In fact, the three brothers really have this plan!
When the time comes, he will lead his troops to attack Hongya Cave directly. He will find the Luyu stalactite first before entering. As for the agreement with Demon King Kuihu to attack from a pincer attack, he will forget all about it.
If you have time, you can go back and execute it. If you don't have time, you can just search and run away. Who will care about the mess?
Anyway, Hongya Cave extends in all directions, and it’s not just the southern entrance and exit.
They can go out from the underground river, or from the east, west, north, and west except Hongyaye. If other human monks want to come in, there must be other entrances.
It's just that the route Lin Shan and the others chose after crossing the Aurora Sea and entering the cliff forbidden area was from Hongyaye. It was different from the route chosen by others, so they could only use the power of Demon King Kuihu to force their way in.
Now that they were cut off by Mr. Yan, the three of them were understandably depressed.
Demon King Kuihu didn't pay too much attention to these details. He laughed loudly and continued to lead the army, chasing Demon King Yuanlu in the direction in which he retreated.
The three of them had no choice but to follow.
